Building Effective Performance Measures

Comment

Studies have shown that the biggest influence on employee productivity, engagement, and retention is the direct supervisor.However, less-than-positive research reports by the Merit Systems Protection Board make it clear that supervisory effectiveness is subpar in many federal agencies.

Management Concepts has a free one-hour webinar on December 7th titled Closing the Supervisory Skills Gaps: A How-To for Federal Leaders.

City & County Performance Manager Dashboard

Dozens of US cities provided their input to help us create a City Performance Manager dashboard, which brings together hundreds of KPIs used by cities to measure performance, strategy & execution. We are doing a webinar on Nov 18 and all group members are invited. Please register at http://fm.sap.com/1mobile/CITYM117_m.htm

You can still register for the free online discussion tomorrow at 2 pm Eastern on 21st Century Federal Performance.

Robert Tobias will help you consider what role, if any, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) should play in:
* Creating a performance management system that links organizational outcomes to a more objective work standard?

* Ensuring that employees are accurately evaluated and professionally developed?

All brought to you by ASTD and The Public Manager to generate some fresh ideas for the Government Workforce: Learning Innovations Conference at the Newseum this November 2.

The recently-passed Government Performance and Results Modernization Act (GPRA) of 2010 calls for a more defined performance framework and requires frequent reporting and reviews to increase the use of performance information in program decision-making. 

There is a webinar taking place tomorrow (Thursday), July 28 at 11am PT that dicusses how open source BIRT can be leveraged to create real-time interactive reports and dashboards to enable federal agencies to meet the new GPRA reporting requirements.

Victoria,

 

Your point is well taken and I agree.  To establish performance measures is hard work.  There are no cook book answers!

A couple of articles.  Things I know we know, good reminders.  Of late, I have heard too much regarding the medium (software) and not enough on substance.

Great debate forming around a simple question: "Who should set the performance measures - employees or managers?" Both/and might be ideal...but sounds like it doesn't really happen with Performance Measurement Systems:

Is it "easy to improve performance?" Seems so:
